The best restaurants in Scottish Borders Lowlands

Called in for a coffee this morning around 11am and were delighted with both the Americano coffees (good size cups) and home made walnut cake and a tray bake.

Excellent takeaway food more than enough in portion size fantastic value for money would definitely recommend this takeaway restaurant 👌

Fresh fish and chips made to order in a cardboard box you get lots of chips and a large fish best fish n chips in the borders bar none

I'm afraid I won't be back. Went to use the facilities and I went into toilets and heard giggling didn't hang around but imagine my dismay when 2 of your cleaners came out of said toilets doing up trousers and straightening themselves up!. Absoloutley disgusting. I've the names of both. To say I'm appalled is an understatement. I came in to shop not witness sex acts. In uniform at the workplace! I'll be informing my friends and family. If this is how you allow your staff to behave! Disgusting if my daughter had been with me and saw that I'd have rang the polis straight away!

I have to say the service was great. But, with an option of only 5 main courses and 1 vegetarian option, the choice is very limited here. This is part of a hotel. Imagine staying here for a few days and being vegetarian having to eat the same thing every night. Not cheap either for what you get. The website suggests a special dining experience with fresh season food, some of which is picked from the gardens but I very much doubt this to be true! Very disappointing

Freindly service, nice bar area however the decor needs more pictures on the walls , nachos started with a sprinkle of tastles cheese & shop bought salsa dip , fish & chips was a frozen breaded fish finger & just crap in my opinion, chicken burger was nice & tasty chips.

This was our second visit to Loulabelle's, the other being in 2023. Lots of delicious food plus friendly staff. We had lunch before visiting a nearby attraction, then nipped back for tea and a cake afterwards. Not cheap, but everything is delicious. The decorations include some great pictures.

Just off the A7 in the middle of Hawick, Wilton Park is a green oasis, dog friendly with a great kiddies playground and a lovely new Cafe. Follow the signs to Wilton Museum and Park, but do not go into the museum entrance, the Park is signed as the next road on the left. There is no specific park parking but a road with parking runs alongside the park. You can see down onto.the park and.there are paths down the slope. The cafe is new, clean and with pleasant staff. Dogs welcome inside and.out.

With its dark wood furnishings, including a very large gantry, and most of the wall space covered in framed rugby strips, photos etc, the public bar in the Black Swan could almost be described as dark and old fashioned. It can also feel cramped at times as everyone tends to shun the other bar (and rightly so - ‘cos it’s horrible). The public bar is a place where you have a decent chance of meeting some wee, unintelligible drunk bloke (or two) in the corner, but it is also a place where it is easy to strike up conversation with locals at the bar. In many ways the Swan is like a pub from the past and is pretty unique in Kelso. Perhaps that’s why we always come in whenever we visit the town. It is an ordinary, no frills, traditional Scottish pub with good service and good lager and good banter. It suits us perfectly well.

Thankyou to the lovely man who paid for my food today. Currently scoffing it at work..bless you thanks for making my day

Used to live in Peebles but now I am only there occasionally for work. I stopped by in the morning for a coffee and I absolutely loved it. Can honestly say best coffee ever. I adore coffee and this is the best. Lovely little picture on top of coffee (Halloween themed) this made my day. Excellent service and great prices. Will be back weekly☺️

We had fish and chips, steak pie and a pizza. Used the £10 off voucher given to the holiday makers on the park, and it came to roughly £16. The chips were very good, fish was ok, a little greasy. Pie was ok as was the pizza. The pizzas in the clubhouse look better.

Arrived here to use my free drinks award ,I couldn't get signed on to the WiFi,,the two lovely young girls on Sunday afternoon were a great help to me ,getting me the WiFi code .They were both extremely helpful and courteous,,,I didn't get there names ,but they are definitely an asset to Costa Coffee Hawick .

Bought a few cakes in here all of them went down a treat and all like them. If in the area would recommend a stop to pick us some sweet treats.
